Product Info
Jones Hovercraft Rocker Snowboard 2011: The Jones Hovercraft Rocker Snowboard is all about float, packing the volume of a 178cm powder board into a nimble 156cm. A blunt nose and directional rocker will keep you cruising whether you're in blower or crud. The short running length guarantees you'll be light on your feet in serious situations.
Product Details
Flex
The medium flex is perfect for intermediate riders looking to advance their skills
Short length combined with large sidecut radius makes the board easy to throw around in tight spaces, but also stable at speed
Construction and Core
Poplar/beech core
Thin film topsheet replaces traditional plastic for reduced weight and environmental impact
Sustainably farmed wood core is FSC-certified
Shape
Directional
The Hybrid Camber Rocker shape uses exaggerated rocker in the nose with slight camber between your feet - tons of float without sacrificing control through crud or chop
Wide, blunted nose shape reduces drag to stay above deep snow easily
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Sintered base
Modified Magne-Traction edges add five contact points - mellower toward the tip/tail to allow feathering turns, and more pronounced between the feet for powerful grip on ice
Carbon-infused sintered base holds a ton of wax to keep you sliding fast

Terrain
Powder Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type
Rocker A rocker board side profile is the opposite of a camber board, with a smooth downward curvature to it and less edge contact length when the board is weighted. Rocker boards float well in powder and pivot more easily underfoot. They also tend to be less “hooky” at both tip and tail and better for landing spin maneuvers when you don’t quite have enough rotation.
